Stocking fillers—a letter to Stan-ta Klaus

Volante

Tier 1- Balotelli/Zlatan/Cavani/Costa/Falcao/Suarez/Rooney

Tier 2- Benzema/Dzeko/Mandzukic/Llorente

Llorente on a loan sounds good to me and realistic

Volante

It's not realistic at all considering he's first choice for Juventus and he scored in both games against Real Madrid. Don't see why people even talk about Llorente coming to Arsenal, especially on a loan.

JazzG

They talked about it because up until recently he was struggling there, he seems to have found some form now so I think this isn't very likely to happen now. He would want first team football in a World Cup year especially as Diego Costa is now eligible for Spain.

spacemanspiff

Thought he was still frozen out. Meh well

ElGeniodeOviedo

This probably won't be well received by those on this forum who want Suarez, Cavani, Ibra etc. but Kostas Mitroglou has been in sensational form this year for Greece and Olympiakos. Plus we all know Wenger likes to buy players who have scored against us in the past

lorddulaarsenal

Don't suppose we could get vucinic?

marv3llous

Was just coming here to post about Mitroglou. Seems another late bloomer and probably wants a step up now.

Rex

There isn't anything outstanding about Mitroglou from the games I have seen him. Admittedly, not too many.

Volante

He has a very good first touch and can finish with both feet, which is more than Giroud can say.

lorddulaarsenal

Giroud can say he's a better forward than him though

Volante

He really can't. Over two years Mitroglou has been miles better in the Champions League and at International level than Giroud.

Clrnc

I have only seen Mitroglu in the champions league game where he scored a superb hattrick.

Seems to be worth a punt now he has continued his goal scoring form?

Volante

Maybe. He's not available in January unless it's silly money.

Good article on him. Sounds like a perfect fit for us in jan

Reg:Balotelli Didn't know just being a penalty master puts you at tier 1 these days. What's his open play record? 10 league goals in his last 11 months? Not good enough. Added liability points for being a nutcase.

Gunner89

Don't want mitroglu. Evidence shows beyond this season even his best is very average considering he plays in the greek league. This season he's scoring for fun there but scoring in greece is one thing and scoring in england is another. Barring scoring against us he's scored against the mighty anderlecht and montpellier in the champions league. His international record isn't miles better than Giroud as someone said above. 8 in 28.

A bet you a million quid he can say that

lorddulaarsenal

Get balotelli, hernanes and n'koulou

Rex

Micah Richards is out of contract in the summer apparently. I'd take him here.
